Not much has been said about the alleged character. What has been known is that she will join the other three characters, who include a "gangster" named Irvin, the "comic book nerd" Keenan and the "famous Kenpo fighter" Garrett Jr.
The character models of the aforementioned characters have also yet to be unveiled.
Apparently, the new chapter of the gaming franchise will reportedly be separated into six campaigns, which are "No Mercy," "Cliff-Hanger," "Early Destination," "Crashland," "Impasse" and "Inquisitor Land."
The report from SegmentNext.com, meanwhile, indicated that the new game will be made available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
The same article said that game developer Turtle Rock won't be handling the realization of "Left 4 Dead 3" but instead, it will all be turned over to Valve.
Via XboxAchievements.com, Turtle Rock Studio's co-founder Phil Robb said the studio is already "pretty much done with it" and that "it's Valve's thing now."
"We've kind of gone off in our own direction. So I'd kinda like to see something new being done with it, and Valve always does great stuff, but it'd be cool to go back to it as just a fan and not a developer. But I doubt you'll see anything from us," he told XBA.
Stay tuned for more updates.
